As we all eagerly await the presidential election results, the girls sit down with Nick Rimedio, General Manager of the West Hollywood Design District jewel known as La Peer Hotel.

All the Pop Ups:
GBK Brand Bar: Awards season is a festive time in West Hollywood with all of the parties and glamming, and a luxurious Gift Lounge is not to be missed. GBK Productions and La Peer came together to offer a truly unique retail experience. Fun facts: Tracy just bought her favorite new flannel there and Maxine launched her e-commerce biz with GBK years ago.
James Peterson Henry Art: James is an Australian painter whose work is heavily influenced by Cubism, African Art and Australian Aboriginal Art. In the organic way that Nick constructs the hotel’s pop-ups, James and Nick met on property while James was a server at Viale Ristorante (now closed).
Olivetta: This pop up restaurant has been a must-visit since it opened, with its sexy poolside and rooftop dining options. What we didn’t realize is that a considerable amount of the pre-opening preparations took place at the LaPeer. Olivetta is extending its residency through May 2021 and have added Tuesday nights to the line up.
